Fall IS the perfect time to hit up the Wild Animal Park in SD with old friends. All the animals were out to play in the mild 85+ degree weather-OK, its mild for the Savannah animals. These tiny pictures don't do the wildlife justice!
All the Gorillas were at play. One young instigator even roused the Silverback into a tussle. Sooo Cool. There was a beautiful Vulture scanning his surroundings from atop an old set of bones (just like in the cartoons!) and giant pink tinged Pelican protecting its egg. After meandering their way across some logs, the 3 Cheetahs lounged together under a shade tree. The young lions gnawed noisily and greedily on their bones. Even an itty bitty teeny weeny blond baby monkey swung on the ropes next to his mommy.
Peoplewise, it was like a ghost town, so our kids ruled the park. Conner took a little dip in the sprinklers before devouring some lunch (if you call popcorn lunch). Then, last but never least, we gave some Lorikeets a sugar rush. Can't wait to go again soon!

What zoo is this? It looks fun.
